Sunday, New Year’s Day 2012, was surprisingly warm before the chill rolled in Monday with the winds and the below freezing temperatures.
As such people (and the ducks) were taking advantage of the warm clear day to make use of the newly refurbished and reopened Avondale Park.
Below are just a few pictures from that day, ending with my favorite bit the Grotto with the small waterfall, both a wide shot of part of it and a small bit of it in motion.
On the whole, through it didn’t the get publicity that the Railroad Park got, a nice little park and worth a visit, even if now it would be a bit on the frigid side!
But boy howdy does that little pond need to be de-slimed around the edges!
You have some great shots! That bench looks really inviting :)

I’m working my way from the north of Great Britain to the south through pictures. You’ll see photographs of glorious vistas, charming close-ups, delicious recipes and interesting tidbits of life in Great Britain for the pleasure of Scotophiles everywhere!
I have not, but I will do that right away.
ReplyDeleteSounds more interesting than B'ham Alabama!
